[linux-audio-user] Attracting more Linux audio developers

Hello, It seems that there is a general sense of frustration among the linux audio community with attracting more developers, users, etc. to start using Linux for serious audio work. The thing that has been frustrating me lately is that there are developers that are offering "free" (as in free beer) software, but they seem to have no interest in a GPL release for Linux! (For example, VST plugins like Ambience, GSnap, etc.) Maybe I'm just stupid, but that doesn't make sense to me. Unless it is simply due to their unfamiliarity with Linux programming, and the thought of maintaining support for another OS... So I was wondering if there was any ongoing "official" effort to pull these developers over to the light side. Would a bounty help persuade them? Any thoughts? -TimH
